On the evening of the second day of the conversation with Carlos, the scouts had already made progress, and Wen and Marfa, who were in charge of the reconnaissance, ran to report the situation.

Both of them looked a little solemn, which did not match their personalities.

"What's wrong?" I asked, "Did you two miss dinner or lose your purse?"

"No, Boss. Marfa shook her head, "Our scouts have sent back preliminary information. ”

"There's information, that's a good thing!" I chuckled, "Why do you have the look of death?"

"Boss, look!" Wen handed over a few pieces of paper, "I don't believe you can still laugh after knowing this." ”

"What?" I took it and glanced at it, "The unknown army was found at the exit of the Canyon Divine Alliance┅┅ This is something I expected, is there anything abnormal?"

"What's so unusual, boss, aren't you kidding?" Wen said eagerly, "It's an unknown army, but now no matter what kind of troops it is, there is no need to hide its identity!"

"Where is Marfa over there?" I looked at Marfa, "Is there any information coming back as well?"

Marfa nodded, smiling hard.

"Go and get a few of them. I put down the information in my hand and said, "We're going to make arrangements." ”

Since everyone was waiting for the information to come back, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive, and as soon as a few people were seated, I asked Wen to report the information in his hand first.

"So our scouts reconnoitred along the gorge, and here they found an army of about six thousand, well armed, at the exit of the canyon. There is also a camp at the mouth of the gorge. and prevent anyone from entering or leaving the canyon. There were also a large number of tribal refugees in the canyon who were shot and killed by them. "But in their entire camp there is not a single flag, and neither the soldiers nor the officers wear uniforms, so so it is not possible to determine their identity so far."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. ”

"Marfa, say yours. ”

"Yes, Boss┅┅Everyone knows that we have lost contact with the rear before the Battle of Tucheng, and we don't even know what is happening outside in the past few days in the passage. So my first priority for my people last night and today was to get in touch with the people we left behind. But we failed┅┅" Marfa said, "All our intelligence agents who remained on the dividing line between gods and demons before the war are missing!"

"All missing?" Carlos frowned, "what else?"

"From the mouth of the gorge to the Garia, there are small groups of cavalry in this area, and we have not been able to go further because we dare not reveal our identity, and we cannot find a single person in the area we have reached. "So we don't get any news about the situation outside." ”

"Okay, that's it, let's talk about it. I looked at the people around me: "To be a good commander, you must not only be able to fight, but also learn to judge the situation." ”

"Assess the situation?" asked Jack, puzzled.

"To put it simply. It is to see the essence of things through superficial phenomena. I explained to Jack, "Would you be the first to speak?"

"I want to┅┅" Jack touched his nose, "I'd better see more and think more." ”

"Moya, you come first!"

"Yes. Top dog. I think the biggest suspicion here is their identity!" Moya shifted his body to the map, "At this time, I don't think there is any need for any troops on either side to hide their identities anymore. ”

"Oh?" I couldn't help but be amused when Moya said his opinion: "What do you think?"

"This is the side of the Divine Alliance of the Gods and Demons dividing line, if it is the Divine Alliance to block the passage, they can do it openly, why do they have to hide it? Boss, do you remember when we went to report to the military headquarters? Those officers and officers of all sizes are quite concerned about their identities, and they are so nervous that they are so nervous that they even have a little mud on their clothes┅┅Sealing the canyon is a trivial matter, how could they use this trick?" Mo Ya said. Of course, it is not impossible to make them make such a big sacrifice, so this matter must be very strict. ”

"And what if it's the Demon Alliance?" I was very relieved to hear Moya's explanation: "They also have a reason to disguise. ”

"Well, I think so, boss, there is no reason for the Demon Alliance to appear in this place, let alone block the passage behind him. Moya lowered his head and thought for a moment, "If the Demon Alliance is trying to cooperate with the battle of Tucheng on the other side of the passage, it is indeed necessary to disguise it. But it's been nearly twenty days since the Battle of Tucheng, and during this time, it's impossible for a demon coalition force of more than 6,000 people to stay here, because this is not a place to be accused by them."

I already knew the origin of this army, and Carlos, as an officer of the General Staff, naturally understood, but Moya came to a conclusion based on the information in his hand alone┅┅I looked at Carlos and I were a little surprised by Moya's growth, his analysis was correct, and this guy finally found out the sharp side of his thinking--I am very happy.

Turning my noncommittal gaze to Helter, I motioned for him to speak.

"Boss, I think this army may belong to the Divine Alliance. "And wherever the army here comes from, it should be an enemy to us." ”

"Be specific. ”

"Before we retreated from Camp, didn't you say that the war between gods and demons was coming to an end? And according to the agreement signed by the Alliance of Gods and Demons, once the war is over, the two sides must immediately withdraw from the demarcation line between gods and demons!" Helter's finger poked heavily at the exit of the canyon on the map: "At this time, the force that appeared at the exit of the canyon must have ulterior motives!"

"Even if they have ulterior motives, they don't have to target us. I picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "Even if that's the case, what are you going to do?"

"There's nothing to think about, their presence here is a direct threat to us, whoever they are. We're going to kill him without a piece of armor!" Helt twirled his finger on the map, "even if they're the army of the Divine Alliance. Later, someone tracked it down. We also have a saying ┅┅Who told them not to wear military uniforms at this time?"

"Of course, they may or may not be directed against us, but Heert, if you attack them just for not wearing uniforms," Carlos interjected, "the reason is too poor, and if they were not directed against us, the temple and the military headquarters would not let us go." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to say that it was injured by mistake? It's not like this hasn't happened before," said Heert, "and besides, the boss can solve any problem." ”

Hear Helt say that. Everyone's eyes were on me.

"You're right, I can solve any problem, let alone this little thing. I nodded and said, "Now we don't know what's going on outside, so let's speculate." ”

"The battle situation outside┅┅" Mo Ya said, "I think the war between gods and demons is over. ”

"Well, tell me about it. I quietly asked, "Who will win and who will lose in the end?"

"The victory of the Demon Alliance┅┅ This can be seen from the fact that they mobilized a large number of troops to encircle and annihilate us. Mo Ya said, "Those troops are from the second war zone of the Demon Alliance, basically at the other end of the dividing line between gods and demons. If they hadn't won, how could they have brought troops from so far away?"

"Need you say that?" Helt snorted, "Now the Divine Coalition forces must be on the way to withdraw, and ┅┅"

"And what?" I said, looking at Helt.

"Boss, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, how did we get surrounded by the Demon Coalition in Tucheng? Who the hell blocked the canyon in front? Someone betrayed us!" The person blocking the canyon is right in front of you, boss, what are you still thinking about?"

"What do you mean?" I said, "what shall we do?"

"Serve them in a pot first. Then he went straight back to Garia. ”

"Good way┅┅" I stood up, "Just do it!"

Carlos looked at me in surprise: "Sir┅┅"

"That's it. I interrupted Carlos with a look in my eyes, "Moya and Jack went to supervise the training of the troops, Carlos immediately drew up a battle plan, and Marfa had to find a way to get in touch with Garia. ”

"Yes!"

"Wen, your scouts should increase the reconnaissance range of the canyon exit. I drew a circle on the map: "Let's go back and do things!"

"Yes!"

Helt, who didn't hear his name, was confused: "Boss┅┅What about me?"

"You?" I began to take off my armor, "go and lead the two horses, and let's go out for a walk." ”

Helt accompanied me, and it took us about two hours to ride our horses to the end of the passage. I didn't say a word on the way, and under my influence, Helt could only obediently follow him.

At the end of the passage there is a mile long dense forest, and out of this dense forest is the plain of a flat river. If it was cavalry, it would have been possible to reach my base of advance, Garia, the border town of the Sbya Empire, in three days.

Two regiments of 5,000 men were guarding the place, and the two regiment commanders knew that I was coming, and reported to me at a trot.

"Go back to your posts. I don't want to hear them say, "Get ready for battle!"

"Yes, sir. One of the regimental commanders replied, "We are always on the alert."

I glanced at the officer, "Are you doubting my words?"

"No sir!we're going right away┅┅"

"Hellet. I dismounted, and walked toward the forest: "Follow me." ”

Ordering the guards to stay where they were, I led Helt all the way through the dense forest to the plain outside.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Helt was confused, "Why are we here?"

"Because I'm going to talk to you. I walked without looking back: "How far is this from the exit of the canyon?"

"It's twenty miles. ”

"Twenty miles, not very far. I nodded, "We can talk as we go, let's go!"

"You're going to the mouth of the canyon?" Helt froze, "What are you doing there?"

"Let's go kill the 6,000 men. Glancing at him, my tone was unusually flat.

"What!" exclaimed Hailt, "Boss, what are you talking about?"

"I said, let's go kill those six thousand. I turned my head with a smile on my face.

"No problem. Helt was stunned for a moment. Then the excitement grew. The stiff face was filled with a red glow of excitement. The sparkling eyes bulged out: "I'll go and call a regiment right away, one regiment is enough!"

Looking at the way he looks, he looks like a starving ghost who sees abundant food.

"No, what I'm talking about is you and me. I stared into Helter's eyes and said slowly, "Not anyone else." ”

Obviously, my words were like pouring cold water on Hailt, and his face immediately turned pale with excitement.

"Boss. Are you alright?" Helt looked at me in disbelief, and I think he must have wondered if I was in good spirits: "Just the two of us┅┅ going to deal with six thousand?"

"That's right, it's just the two of us. ”

"Are you crazy, boss?!The two of us are dealing with six thousand people┅┅This is impossible!"

"How could it be impossible?" I said lightly, "Your martial arts skills are so good, and I know how to do magic." ”

"That's not enough for six thousand!" Helt was almost roaring, he jumped to his feet, reached out and grabbed my shoulder, his eyes condensed into a line as sharp as if they were about to pierce my head: "You're crazy! you know what the consequences will be┅┅"

"The consequences?" I slapped Helt in the face, "You know the consequences!"

"Boss, why did you hit me!" A trace of blood hung on the corner of his mouth, and Helt was blindfolded by me, shaking his drowsy head. He stared at me viciously, "You've never hit me in the face, what's wrong with me?"

"Yes? You're right? Do you know who the other person is? Do you know what the consequences of attacking rashly are? Do you know that reckless behavior can put everyone in danger, if they are the enemy avant-garde. What will be the consequences of your reckless attack? What will be the consequences if you attack friendly forces!" I said coldly, "Yes, I beat you, you are very unconvinced, are you? You have always been very unconvinced, since the day I climbed into the orchard as a child and became the boss, have you been very unconvinced?"

"┅┅" Probably didn't expect me to suddenly mention this, Heert wanted to say something, but opened his mouth but was speechless.

"It seems that you really care about this title, is it really so important to you, so that you have to do everything you can to show yourself and prove that you are better than me. I continued, "I'm not wrong, am I?!"

"┅┅" Helt's Adam's apple swallowed dryly, but he still didn't speak, although he was silent, but his inner struggle was all on his face.

"You should remember that I said earlier, I hope that you, I hope that all my brothers are stronger than me, and I hope that you can make a name for yourself in the world┅┅But this does not mean that you can do things regardless of the consequences. I said, "You are a year older than me, you should understand that." ”

As if my words had stimulated him, Helter's gaze became fierce: "I didn't!"

"No? Who is it that is clamoring to attack without knowing the enemy's situation, is it me? You have no problem to kill the enemy, but you don't drag my soldiers to their deaths!" My voice gradually rose up, and I didn't intend to leave him any more room to spare: "Have you carefully looked at the dead soldiers? Have you carefully looked at their eyes? those shocked, confused, helpless, and finally desperate eyes!"

At this moment, I seemed to be back in the blood-red earth city, and I seemed to hear the dying wails of the warriors again. My chest seemed to be bound by an iron ring, and the feeling of being out of breath forced me to almost go crazy┅┅ gritted my teeth and shook off the blood-soaked nightmare, and my eyes widened: "As your boss, if you want to be handsome, I will accompany you, and I will not let the soldiers accompany you to death." ”

"What death!" Helt rushed over to me face to face, shouting, "I will win!"

"You can't impose your desire for victory on someone else!" I grabbed Helt by the collar and chiseled my words into Helter's ear word by word: "Soldiers' deaths are nothing, but I won't let them die senselessly. ”

"What is the meaning of nothing!" Helt could barely control himself, and shook my hand away: "I am a commander, how can it be meaningless for me to lead the soldiers to fight bloodily?"

"Commander, you're still a third-rate commander. ”

"And how good are you, not like me!" Helt turned his head to look to the side, his neck as hard as iron, and threw out a hard sentence: "You'd be done without me." ”

"Not bad. I'm not much different from you┅┅" I sighed: "It's different if you have military exploits┅┅Then let the strength speak." Do you remember how you got into a fight?"

"Remember!"

"So what are you waiting for? You arrogant fool!

"I'm not stupid!" Helt's eyes turned red. The fists were clenched tightly: "I'm not a reckless man!"

I didn't bother to talk nonsense and swung it with a punch. Helt dodged a few more times at first, but he couldn't stand my repeated remarks and finally yelled at me.

This fight lasted for a long time, and no one left their hands, let alone an audience.

Half an hour later, Helt and I were so tired that we were panting like cows, and we were lying on the ground like mud.

With the consumption of the body lì. Everyone's irritable feelings also eased a lot, and in each other's gulps, rapid breathing, our eyes gradually eased.

We lay on the field, the gentle wind slowly combing our sweat-soaked hair. At the end, the two of them laughed out loud after a long time of staring at each other, just like when they were children.

"Phew!Bah┅┅" Helt spit out a few rotten grasses in his mouth: "You come here again, it's too shameless, what kind of nobleman!"

He said this because I was a scoundrel in the fight.

"Nobleman, when did you think I was a nobleman again?" I smiled, "It doesn't taste good to suffer, doesn't it?"

"Come and eat!" said Helter, wiping the dirt from his face and grumbling angrily.

"!" I sat up. Rolled his eyes at Hailt: "Young Master Ben eats everything, but he doesn't suffer." ”

"!" Helt slowly crawled over. Also sitting next to me: "It hurts so much┅┅"

"What are you doing sitting so close? Sit out a little bit. I shoved him, "Is your problem solved?"

"Don't push me┅┅I'm out of strength. Heert said, "What the hell is going on?"

"What's going on?"

"I'm talking about our relationship. "On the one hand, I know that you are my boss, and I know that I value the feelings of several of us. But on the other hand, I want to surpass you in all places, I have endured you for a long time, and I can't suppress this desire. ”

"Man is called man because he has feelings, and desire is something that all living beings have. In fact, this is not contradictory, as a person, the most difficult thing is to correctly handle the balance between feelings and desires. I said, "You are a clever fellow, you should know how to do it." In fact, the relationship between people is very delicate, and I can't build it for you. ”

"What should I choose? I'm going to blow my head. Helt lay down on the ground helplessly, picked up a small piece of grass and bit it in his mouth: "Boss, how can you sue me well?" ”

"Nope. ”

"Why?"

"Not why. ”

There was a long silence.

"I don't know what I am," Helt shook his head and said, "Sue me, boss, even if I beg you." ”

"You're blinded by lust," I said, "haven't you taken a good look at yourself?"

"Look at yourself?" Helt grunted, tilting his head to the side and inhaling softly, enjoying the scent of the grass carefully: "I don't even have time to look at others, and I still have time to look at myself?"

"Yes, this time is too impetuous, we are overwhelmed by a lot of things, how can we have time to examine ourselves. I nodded and said, "There are so many miscellaneous things that my mind is very confused." ”

"No wonder you don't show up often these days, it turns out that you ran to examine yourself. Helt turned to me and said, "Boss, tell me about the results of your examination, or I can borrow it." ”

"I'm going to get some things right. I said, "This is not your only problem, and my relationship with Fischette is a big one." ”

"Fischette and you?" Helt was stunned, "What happened to you?" (to be continued......)
